Stephen Webster to star in International Palladium Board seminar at IJL

The International Palladium Board will be at IJL for the first time this year and has announced the details of their exciting seminar. Luxury writer Claire Adler is set to host the seminar on Monday 3 September at 4pm with special guest, designer Stephen Webster, and IPB chairman, Brad Mills, to introduce palladium as the newest precious metal to be hallmarked. This will be followed by a reception to celebrate IPB’s first year at IJL.

Claire Adler commented: “This year I'm chairing a session with celebrity jeweller Stephen Webster and Brad Mills, chairman of the International Palladium Board. We’re at the early stages of its journey in fine jewellery and I think this seminar will introduce palladium as the contemporary precious metal of the future.”
